Software and Sustainability

The S2 group research focus is on architecture design, modelling and evaluation of software-intensive systems.

These typically involve multiple technologies, operate in multi-organisational environments and influence businesses, social behaviour and society at large. Major research areas are service orientation, cloud-based software, and software engineering for energy efficiency and sustainability. Our philosophy is that research should be industrial-relevant and serve the final purpose of being applied in practice.

Head: Prof. Dr. Patricia Lago, Dr. Ivano Malavolta
